The 2015 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series to determine the participating teams in the 2015 National League Championship Series. The three divisional winners (seeded 1–3) and a fourth team—the winner of a one-game Wild Card playoff—played in two series. TBS carried all the games in the United States, with Sportsnet simulcasting TBS coverage for Canada.[1] The Division Series began on October 9 and concluded on October 15.[2] The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals had home field advantage in this round of the playoffs.
These matchups were:[3]
- (1) St. Louis Cardinals (Central Division champion) versus (5) Chicago Cubs (Wild Card winner): Cubs win series 3–1.
- (2) Los Angeles Dodgers (West Division champion) vs (3) New York Mets (East Division champion): Mets win series 3–2.
The higher seeded team in each series hosts Games 1, 2, and 5 (if necessary), and the lower seeded team hosts Games 3 and 4 (if necessary).
The Mets defeated the Cubs in the NLCS, then went on to lose the 2015 World Series to the American League champion Kansas City Royals.

- ^ The restriction on teams from the same division meeting in the Division Series was removed prior to the 2012 season. Therefore, the Cardinals and Cubs, both from the Central Division, were able to meet in the Division Series. Under the format used from 1998-2011, (1) St. Louis would have faced (3) New York in one Division Series, and (2) Los Angeles would have faced (5) Chicago in the other.
